From the Archives: Spawn Dark Ages Horse

Recommended music: Johnny Cash – Ghost Riders in the Sky (Live)

So this #FourHorsemenFriday post from the archives, we’re taking a look at the McFarlane Toys Spawn Dark Ages i.23 horse!

This horse is actually from a set where a rather scary-looking skeleton guy rides atop the horse and was released as a deluxe set in the 24th series of the original Spawn toyline. While The Four Horsemen were previously contracted by McFarlane to do design work on this toyline, they actually left following wave 16, not technically doing work on this horse, based on issue 23 of the Spawn Dark Ages comic.

The horse is being included here as during the first five years or so of the Mythic Legions line, I don’t think there were any horses for your figures, so this “Mythic adjacent” horse served as an excellent stand-in steed for Vorgus Vermillius, and still hasn’t given up his place years after horses have been added to the line. He comes adorned with skulls, metal plates, and scary blinkers and is quite the presence in the display.
